ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — When LeBron James announced that he was leaving the Miami Heat and returning to his native Ohio and the Cleveland Cavaliers, he did so via a first-person essay in Sports Illustrated. Now, the NBA has posted a video of Ohio residents and Cavaliers fans reciting LeBron’s essay, and it’s a pretty cool watch. Powder tosses for everyone…

Reciting our “king” LeBron essay coming back to Cleveland will give all the people who recite it a ring. I suggest Kobe should recite it as well and play with our “king” LeBron for his 6th ring to tie up with the 2nd greatest of all time Michael Jordan next to GOAT no other than LeBron!

I really think us people have zero basketball education. You were asked who pose the greatest threat for USA in this mudobasket and you seriously plaed argentina and brazil above greece.
now here is the deal, one who understands basic basketball would realize that argentina and brazil are actually bad teams. the reason why you think otherwise is because they have nba players.. this is just pathetic, it shows lack of understanding of the game.

I still think Lebron is a great player but he hasn’t gone to that next level. That level in taking over a game when you need him is hard to find. Ray gave a ring with that shot of game 6, Young Thunders Team, that’s all. Know he goes to Cavs calling all the players in the NBA to join him LOL what a joke of a player.

The Kobe hate is amazing.
MJ was the best in his era. Kobe was the best in his era. LeBron is the best now.
Taking credit away from any of them makes no sense.
If I had to pick LeBron or Kobe in their primes for my fantasy team, it’d be Kobe hands down. The man is a killer when it comes to competition. Say he “copied” MJ and ill say “so what?” You want to be the best, then learn from other greats before you, since they knew how to win. Nothing wrong with that at all…

it’s sad that honnest and naive people actually think that lebron james has anything to do with that letter.10 commercial guys and marchandising boys did it, then he signed it, like he signed his contract.
BUT, i think he is a good guy for real. he is at his place in cleveland. so be happy clevelanders but don’t eat everything the business guys tell you to eat.

There are standards in every walk of life to which all men aspire to. That said, and as far as basketball goes, MJ is that standard. Period !! Some folks here calling Kobe, “MJ’s Mini Me” are quite right. It’s plain to see that Kobe modelled his game for the most part off of MJ. I think Lebron is a great player, but not quite as great as either MJ or Kobe. Lbj is yet to demonstrate his ability to take a team(whichever one he chooses to take his talent to) to the finals and exert himself in the game/series. Lbj’s legacy will always be below those of MJ and Kobe.
